Watching the scene of them waking up in the morning was so uncomfortable, because it’s so common- not just among the cast members on this show, but also in real life. Someone isn’t in the mood for physical intimacy, the other partner sees they are pulling away, so rather than respecting their boundaries, they force themselves closer by pulling their bodies next to them, begging for kisses, etc. If she wanted it, she would not be pulling away, so stop. No matter what their sex life was before, people have any number of reasons for needing more personal space and that shouldn’t matter. It’s so disrespectful and shows that he values his wants above hers (also- see Nikki, Jasmine last season, Rob, Statler…)
Yeah it was cringe, but I didn’t think it compares to Rob forcing himself on Sophie for sex when she was tired after her flight, or when Nikki pressures Igor for sex. That being said, it’s cringe. I don’t think he was looking for sex, but rather just affection because he does really love her and probably missed her. Everyone is different, she probably hadn’t seen him in a while and was likely uncomfy with his mom being next door, and some people take time to warm up.
That being said, she’s still rude imo. When they rent a hotel room, from what I saw in the preview he tries to make it all cute and romantic and then she comes out and says he looks like a cow laying there… If the roles were reversed and it was the guy calling the girl a cow, we’d all flip our shit.
